Adverbs are words that modify (1) verbs, (2) adjectives, and (3) other
adverbs. They tell how (manner), when (time), where
(place), how much (degree), and why (cause). Why is a
common one-word adverb that tells why. Adverbs that tell us how, when, where,
and why always modify the verb. These adverbs can shift location in
the sentence without changing meaning or what they modify. Adverbs that tell us how
much modify adjectives or other adverbs. Adverbs that tell how much
will come just before the adjectives or adverbs that they modify. These adverbs
are also called qualifiers because they strengthen or weaken the words
they modify. Examples: He kicked the ball solidly (how). He kicked the ball
immediately (when). He kicked the ball forward (where). He kicked the ball too
hard (how much).

Not and its contraction n't are adverbs. They really modify the
entire sentence, but we will have them modify the verb as it is the most
important word in the sentence. This is a common practice in grammar books.

Instructions: Find the adverbs in the following sentences and tell what word they modify.
